Who's working for you ?
It is important that you understand who the REALTOR is working for. For example, both the seller and the buyer may have their own agent which means they each have a REALTOR who is representing them.
Or, some buyers choose to contact the seller's agent directly. Under this arrangement the REALTOR is representing the seller, and must do what is best for the seller, but may provide many valuable customer services to the buyer.
A REALTOR working with a buyer may even be a "sub-agent" of the seller. Under sub-agency, both the listing brokerage and the co-operating brokerage must do what is best for the seller even though the sub-agent may provide many valuable customer services to the buyer.
If the brokerage represents both the seller and the buyer, this is multiple representation.
Code of Ethics
REALTORS believe it is important that the people they work with understand their agency relationship. That's why requirements and obligations for representation and customer service are included in a Code of Ethics.
Th Code requires REALTORS to disclose in writing the nature of the services they are providing, and encourages REALTORS to obtain written representation and customer service agreements to buyers and sellers.
